PHILADELPHIA, August 9th. = Especial. Il
Seventy-seven owners and residents of both
sides of Race street, from Tenth to Eleventh
nave appealed to Mayor Filter for aid in Kidding
that neighborhood of the great crowd of Chi
nese gamblers who have swarmed in upon them
within the last six months. The petition is
signed by every pr perty-owner and tenant in
the block, except the owners of the houses ten
anted by the Chinese, who are paying double
rates Tor rent. The ground on which the re-
1noval OF these Z" restaurants" as they are called
by the Chinese. is asked, is that they are nui-
sances, and pTeiudicial TO the health and morals
of the community. The signers declare that
these resorts are of greater evil than the dives.
Ihey also make the declaration that property in
the single square where the nuisance exists has
deprecated so much in value that Sl50yO00 loss
would be low estimate. They are also deter
mined to find way to restore not only the
value Of the property, but also the peace and
day. - '''' '''O1' ''pe'-'''s '' sun
The petition to the Mayor contains the follow
ing specifications "The value of property is
depreciating, and business is ruined by their
immoral actions. First-by their unchaste ap.
peaTance in public, by reason of the style of
ing their nude forms Secondly the use of
vile language by nearly every Chinaman. MAX
ing the passage along the neighborhood very

bath, in congreg eating in crowds upon the side

pertinent. Filthy their hideous music and
noise by day and night Sixth-by their con-
slant gambling. Seventh-by their keeping all
their 5 ores open and selling goods on sunday

city, thereby filling our sidewalks in great
crowds, not only annoying TO us, but a nuisance
